I went to Japan again this year, which invariably translates into even more acquisitions for my H!P collection.

Here's how far out of control I went in 2015:

I bought the vast majority of the ***48 items second-hand for ¥108 apiece — or less. The only things that cost more than ¥500 were the two AKB48 albums, purchased new at full price when I was not in Japan.

Cheap second-hand ***48 singles are so plentiful in Japan that I had to set strict limits to my shopping. I stuck to my decision to pay no more than ¥216 for AKB48 singles with DVDs, ¥108 for AKB48 singles without DVDs, and not to buy any singles from the other ***48 groups at all. Even with those restrictions, you can see how much I bought. I even got a sealed theater edition of “Green Flash” for ¥100 only nine days after its release.

I picked up another batch of stuff from Yahoo! Auctions via From Japan at the post office today. Here are the H!P and H!P-adjacent items:

Image

Clockwise from upper left:
The Peanuts - Jounetsu no Hana (original 7-inch vinyl single from 1959; the song was covered by W)
Buono! - CLIPS vol. 2 (DVD)
THE Possible - ② Shiawase no Akashi (CD)
Ishii Rika (remember her?) – Aoi Kuma (autographed CD)

Among the non-H!P items I got were the self-titled solo CD by Takayo (from ZONE) and Shonen Knife's hard-to-find Knife Collectors 1998 fan club CD, which features three songs from their very first live show, at Mantohihi in Osaka, 17 April 1982.

I ordered CDs from Cdjapan 26 February, arrived in spain 1 March, now more than 9 days and no updates, i talked with Cdjapan
they say this

generally speaking, it is your government's policy to enforce the very time consuming customs inspection procedure strictly, even though an enormous amount of packages enter Spain.
So, delays and congestion at customs office is very common.
From our side, we have no means control or accurately predict how long it will take, but we hope your customs officials release your package soon.
After that, your post office should be able to deliver your package soon.

What should i do to get my Cds, is my first purchase from Cdjapan... and now i regret buying from them already i trusted that site.

There's nothing you can do except wait for the customs inspection to finish. It is standard operating procedure, especially since the increase in terrorism has made governments more suspicious of international shipping, travel, and financial transactions. Nine days is a bit longer than usual, but not exceedingly so. Whatever you do, don't blame CD Japan for this; it's the same problem for any seller, and they already answer this question in their FAQ…

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/guide/help/faq/faq_shipped_orders

If you want to blame someone, blame you own government's bureaucracy. Or maybe blame yourself for not fully understanding the issues with international shipping before you ordered.

Now, having said that, this really belongs in another thread…

Postby boinsie » Fri Mar 11, 2016 7:23 am

It doesn't sound like CDJapan did anything wrong.
Your package is in customs, being inspected to be sure you're not importing anything illegal or undeclared. This is absolutely normal for international packages. Doing a bit of research online, it appears that Spain's customs for packages is -especially- slow, compared to many other countries.
Have you contacted Correos, the Spanish postal service, for a status update? In general it just looks like you're going to have to wait until Spanish customs is through with the package. How many CDs did you buy? In the future, choosing the fastest shipping method (EMS) should expedite things as much as possible, and several smaller shipments might get through more easily than one big one, but unfortunately there's no getting around customs altogether.

I usually have CD Japan orders shipped by Registered SAL, and even though U.S. Customs is relatively fast, it still normally takes them 4-6 days between arrival in the U.S. and delivery (or attempted delivery), with no tracking update in the meantime. So if the Spanish customs agency is typically slow, as boinsie reports, I'd say you have no reason to worry about anything just yet.

I had an issue a few years ago where I ordered something and it took like 2 months to get here, one reason being a lot of snow, which caused backups in customs and shipping sorting and all sorts of mail issues. So it could be a similar situation with you (except not snow.) I waited I would say 2 extra weeks.

By the way if you read the thing, it says "could take up to ____ weeks" because things like that happen. :)
CDJapan is very reliable, I've gotten nearly all my goods from them.
